Optical Arithmetic Operation Using Optical Demultiplexer

Abstract

Using Terahertz Optical Asymmetric Demultiplexer (TOAD) based switch we have designed all-optical parallel half adder and full adder. The approach to design this all-optical arithmetic circuit not only enhances the computational speed but also is capable of synthesizing light as input to produce desire output. The main advantage of parallel circuit is synchronization of input which is not required. All the circuits are designed theoretically and verified through numerical simulations.
